Oil and coolant

[Ant]

In my service manual, I have the oil spec, but I can't find an antifreeze spec for my '08 6R. What's best to use on this? Also where's best to buy oil, filter and coolant from? Plenty of places around for cars, but only main dealers otherwise. Thanks.

Well, I don't blame no one else not knowing. I rang Kawasaki and even they don't know what it is, apart from 'it's green'.

any coolant that is OK with aluminium engines will do the job :-)

coolant is coolant
even tap water will do the job
just go to any bike shop and buy some premixed if your not sure

i use ebay for most of my coolant, filter etc needs

Halfords pre mix will be fine - as long as its PINK :D

Thanks guys. I've got some coolant which I use on my cars, suitable for ally blocks and heads, so long as I can ensure all the old stuff is out so that I know I'm not mixing types, then I'll be ok then. I'm still shocked that even Kawasaki didn't know what it is they put in their bikes.
